Pup-op: Human chain saves dog from water trap (VIDEO)

A group of men in Kazakhstan formed a human chain as part of a special operation to rescue a dog that fell into a reservoir, enclosed by a smooth steep wall. The animal’s fate would have been grim if not for help provided by good Samaritans.

The incident took place in the largest city in Kazakhstan, Almaty. The animal fell into Sairan Reservoir and would have been unable to gain a footing on land on its own.

The video released on YouTube on Thursday shows a man jumping into the reservoir to rescue the dog. Others are seen descending very carefully, holding hands. The guys acted quite professionally, forming a human chain. Apart from saving the dog, they earned praise from YouTube users.
